Simple question about af:panelTabbed and required="true"

Question

Hello,
I have a component af:panelTabbed with four tabs:
In the fourth tab i have an af:inputText with the tag required="true"
The problem is: The required is only applied if i am at the fourth tab (where the inputText is on).
If i am at first tab, the form is commited and the required is not applied.
Any help, please ?

To complement, here is my jspx and my Managed Bean:
When i click at cb1 button, the focus would have to go for tab4, but the partial refresh doesn't work. If i use the refreshPage() method posted above, the focus works, but as mentioned, it's not web 2.0 common use.
